Life

Hilde Weissner was the daughter of the justice officer Rodolf Weißbrodt and his wife Helene, a concert singer. After her father's death in 1922, she moved to Hamburg with her mother in 1927 . Here she received acting lessons from Herbert Hübner and Maria Eis . In 1929 she made her debut as Maria Stuart at the Schiller Theater in Altona .

This was followed by a two-year engagement at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg, in 1932 appearances at the Deutsches Theater in Prague and in May 1933 the debut at the Schiller Theater in Berlin. Gustaf Gründgens signed her to the Prussian State Theaters, where she played until 1939.

In the film, Hilde Weissner immediately received leading roles since her debut in September 1933 in the comedy The Finances of the Grand Duke . She regularly played strong, self-confident women, sometimes as a negatively marked opponent of the actual leading actress. In the crime comedy The Man Who Was Sherlock Holmes (1937) she is a cool calculating Ganovin, in Secret Sign LB-17 (1938) she also shows her skills as a singer and dancer. In the Heinz Rühmann film Lauter Lügen (1938) she is Hertha Feiler's rival .

After the end of the war her film duties became more sparse, and Hilde Weissner was mainly active again at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg. In 1950 she opened a fashion salon. Television also gained increasing importance for them. In 1962 she received a professorship at the Mozarteum in Salzburg , where she headed the drama seminar until 1973. In 1986 she was awarded the Gold Filmband for many years of outstanding work in German film.

Hilde Weissner's first husband, the composer Peter Holm , fell in 1944. In 1949 she was briefly married to the radio journalist Gerd Ribatis . Her daughter Viola (* 1935) comes from her relationship with the actor Lothar Müthel , and her son Rolf Dieter (* 1941) comes from her marriage to Holm.

She was buried in the Ohlsdorf cemetery.
